She was behind the winning goal in the derby match against Eskilstuna United.
Then Amanda Rantanen of KIF Örebro was badly injured and taken to hospital.
– You probably need to glue it, says Orebro President Fredrik Steingarn to TT.
After a good start to the season, Örebro struggled even more at the end.
The house exchange against Eskilstuna United came with three straight losses. But this winger will be broken tonight thanks to a special goal.
Eskilstuna, who lost to FC Rosengård last week, after, among other things, scored by Matilda Blanc, will also provide an own goal this evening.
This time it was her colleague in the midfield, Emma Ostlund, who fired the ball into her own goal in the 35th minute from a corner kick from Amanda Rantanen.
“I see him as my goal,” Rantanen says with a smile to Viaplay.
I went to the hospital
At the beginning of the second half, Rantanen received a blow and was forced to leave due to his injuries.
– What we do know is that she went to the hospital right away. There appears to be a defect in the arm or wrist. You’ll likely need to glue it on and be out for a few weeks, but we don’t know exactly, that was just the first speculation from the on-site match doctor, says Orebro president Fredrik Stengarn to TT.
How long the striker will miss is still unclear.
– It would be an unimaginable loss for the team, says Stengarn if Rantanen is gone for so long.
Prior to the injury, Mia Galcroud squandered Eskilstuna’s best chance when she was completely empty after playing dirty from the home team. But the end took place inside.
– Jalkerud does not usually miss these positions, says Viaplay expert, Pär Lagerström.
Despite the massive game advantage, they did not get the equalizer and Örebro won 1-0.
Orebro is now up to seventh in the table while Eskilstuna is fifth.
